Which file format is right for you?
For most users, MPEG-4 is the ideal choice. It is widely compatible with nearly all devices, including TVs, smartphones, tablets, and platforms like YouTube, making it a versatile and convenient option.
If you’re a video editor, ProRes is recommended. This master format captures extra details, perfect for professionals who plan to fine-tune before exporting to a viewer-friendly format like MPEG.
Both the MPEG-4 and ProRes options come with full AI remastering.
For those seeking the purest capture, our Non-AI Raw Scan can be added to any order. This format provides direct output from our scanner with full overscan, revealing film edges and sprocket holes for an authentic archival look. It’s also a smart choice for future-proofing, allowing easy application of the latest AI remastering technology later without the need to re-scan. (The non-AI Raw option is supplied in ProRes format).
Our Non-AI HD scan comes in a resolution of 2048×1552, while the 4K scan offers a crisp 4096×3112 resolution.
